Hymnal ‎#6

6. The Lord unto my Lord thus spake

1 The Lord unto my Lord thus spake:
"Till I Thy foes Thy footstool make,
Sit Thou in state at My right hand:
Supreme in Sion Thou shalt be,
And all Thy proud opposers see
Subjected to Thy just command.

2 "Thee, in Thy power's triumphant day,
The willing people shall obey;
And, when Thy rising beams they view,
Shall all (redeem'd from error's night)
Appear more numerous and bright
Than crystal drops of morning des."

3 The Lord hath sworn, nor sworn in vain,
That, like Melchizedek's, Thy reign
And priesthood shall no period see:
Anointed Prince! Thou, bending low,
Shalt drink where darkest torrents flow,
Then raise Thy head in victory!
